Long story short my friend changed the motherboard and lost the sticker with the serial number so can't get the unlock code. The internal sn is only 12 digits versus 16 needed. Does anyone have a way? It only has like android 4.0 something really old in case that helps.
Try the IMEI as serial number. It is 16 digits....

I think it's only 16 digits. I counted the digits on the old box with the old imei to double check. My mate 9 is 15 also but that would have been nice if it worked.

Thanks JZChen. Someone mentioned that code gives a code that might not work on the page where we input all the info and get the unlock code so I tried and the phone spit out a 12 digit sn but the website is asking for a 16 digit sn so it didn't work. Maybe if we email Huawei they will send the code using only the 12 digit sn.
I just checked on my mate 9 and it gave the 16 digit sn. That would be awesome if it works, thank you
It matches the SN on my box, so hopefully it works. Mine is updated to 5.1.

It worked great thank you. I wonder why there is that other dial command that only gives a 12 digit sn. I got the bootloader unlock code wooo hooo

Yesterday, I did uprom to PDAViet Transfomer 1.0. I have used this rom for about 1 hours, then I did down to PDAViet 4.0.0.5b-cross, HR 2 times, imediately. then used 2 hours, HR 1 more time and changed my Radio to 2.69.21 After that I found that my IMEI changed, from xxxx xxxx xxxx xxx 00 to xxxx xxxx xxxx xxx 01
Did anyone get this problem????
No panic. The IMEI didn't change.
What you see is IMEISV, an extended IMEI with software version number. It has 17 decimal digits(14 digits plus 1 check digit plus 2 SVN digit). 14 most significant digits of the IMEISV without the SVN is the originial IMEI. The last 2 digit identifying the revision of the software installed on the phone.
For example, the IMEISV code 35703600-CCCCC-D-EE
35703600 identifies that it is HTC prophet model
CCCCC is the serial sequence of the model, uniquely identifying a unit of this model
D the Luhn check digit of the previous 14 digit IMEI
EE the 'software version number'
The SVN allows the manufacturer to identify different software versions of a given type approved mobile. The SVN is a separate field from the IMEI, although it is associated with the IMEI, and when the network requests the IMEI from the mobile, the SVN (if present) is also sent towards the network.
The biggest SVN I've seen for the prophet is 07. Has anyone got a bigger one?
whoa... u learn something new everyday....
cheers yujian5
can i use some tools to change this IMEI？
i find it too.

After dialing *#06#, I get a number which is quite different from the number on the back of the phone. So seems it has changed after so many upgrades...
This phone worked well,after upgrades, in Germany and India but it does not seem to work in UK. I have tried Orange and Virgin operators but not able to make any calls.
Can someone suggest if I need to change IMEI. I tried updating radio rom to 2.69.xx.xx..but that didnt help.

i flashed my p4000 to the new rom, and my pst info cleared, which i have written down, but when i go to enter the new info in, it asks me for a unlock code...
in all the tuts i read it never told me how to check it or anything i dont know what the unlock code would be, i also bought it used, anyone know?
i cant use my phone until i fix this, and i really need my phone tonight.
Unlock code for the SIM or the phone? I presume theres nothing on your device till now, why not hard-reset or upgrade to another ROM?
Regards,
Carty..
htc p4000 have no sim cards.
im doing the ##778 to get into the PST menu, then when i try to edit it, to input my #, it asks me for an unlock code... :S
have you tried all 0s or 123456 or your phone number?
yes i tried a couple.
000000
123456
654321
i havnt changed the code...anyone know how to change it through an app or the default code?

If it's anything like sprint, then a simple call to your carrier should remedy the problem. with sprint it's called an "MSL" and they give it to you when programming your phone. So if you call and tell them that you need to 'reprogram' your phone, they should walk you through the steps along with giving you the code.
if i reflash it with the nueROM v2 build 5022, its a sprint rom...so that would mean i could use the 000000 as the unlock code?
also, after flashing to the new roms, my phone continually reset...would go on for a minute then reset... thats why i went back to my default rom, but now its asking for an unlock code >.>
Unzip this to your phone. Take your battery off and write down your Hex ESN. Run GetSPC.exe. Type your Hex ESN in the first box. The second box will be your unlock code.
*edit - removed file, missing keygen and someone linked to it on the next page.
k ill try that out, thank you.
any reason why my phone would be constantly reseting after installing the new roms?
k.
my EST is
but when i type that in, its saying "could not link to dll"
?
If I were you I would edit that post and remove that ESN # ASAP, people can use that to steal your service.

you might try the program found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1541466 (it's the program called GetSPC)
i tried it on my phone and it provided an MSL number. hafta admit, tho - the MSL it gave me didn't work (and it differs from the MSL i have written down for my phone).
i might also suggest that you SEARCH...it's what I did to find the above. you might also try calling your carrier and ask them what the unlock code is.
OH -- use a HEX version of the ESN, and use ALL CAPS for any letters in the HEX version. It still may provide you with an invalid MSL...but worth a shot.
Make sure you are using the correct number for ESN, just converting the number from the back of your phone to hex will not work. Click program settings and device information on the bottom it will say ESN followed by a 8 digit hex number..that is the hex esn, you then put that in GetSPC and it will give you your 6 digit master unlock code. Dial ##6digitcodeSEND and it will open up to a place with 2 settings that can be changed, enter your 10 digit phone number for these two settings.
If you still can't get it, call Telus & tell them you can't make any calls, they will walk you thru the reprogramming process.

Don't know why it didn't work, it's the exact same program. The only thing I took out was the PPC 2003 version so you wouldn't run that by mistake.
*edit - just downloaded it & it's missing the keygen. I don't know how that happened, sorry. I would've just linked to the original but I couldn't remember where I'd gotten it initially.
What is the reason?
my htc touch pro IMEI changed after update ROM(official ROM"like as: RUU_Raphael_HTC_ITA_5.05.408.1_R2_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe")
and then my IMEI changed 17 bits--REMOVED--
when i install any software,the system to prompt the follow information:
"the program is from an unknown publisher.you should install it only if you trust its publisher.do you want to continue?"
I think this is just occasional,so i update ROM again and again.
but the IMEI is "--REMOVED--" all the same!
You probably don't want to post you imei online (maybe that's a fake #; if that's the case, you should say so).
Your IMEI didnt change =/
Maybe for some reason the soft way to see your IMEI is corrupted, but look under your battery, that IMEI is still the same, and that's what matters because if you warranty your phone for some reason IMEI is how they track it. IMEI is basically a serial number for the provider.
^ not true. It is possible to change your IMEI number with certain software. When a call is made the IMEI # is recorded in the provider's billing software. With Rogers for example, this is the case, albeit few reps know how to find this and fewer still care what your IMEI is or isn't.
Not saying whether the OP's IMEI did/didn't change, but the sticker under the battery only shows the IMEI when the phone shipped.
Just like a sticker on the back of a computer may say "windows xp" while its OS is actually "vista"
When you upgrade to a new version (Core) it will add one number to your IMEI only in form. It is still electronically recognized as the same IMEI, so don't worry. what you will find is that the number is the same, but has now an additional digit or 2 in it. This is just like a revision number & will not affect your services at all. This happened when we old Tilt users went from 6.0 to 6.1 & will likely happen again going 6.1 to 6.5 official.
Do you get your IMIE by dialing *#06# ?
yes mate
Imei changed
Hi,
i work for a mobile provider an I changed yesterday my ROM and today I got an Security check on my work and my IMEI changed also, and that was a little problem. Because they have to check my IMEI number, to look that I have the right mobile with me. The problem is, that Security had only the last 4 numbers, but I found out the new added two digit numbers
Cheers
Hmmm...That's what I said above. It is the ROM/Revision number & it gets added to the IMEI. For anything truly querying the IMEI, it is fine. But it seems your setup is querrying the Registry version of the IMEI.
Anytime you upgrade roms, Usually OEM roms, this happens. It started with the first touch & the Kaiser.

If you ran a ROM that had been XIP'd for any reason (such as to make some software that looks to see the OS version to run), this will modify how windows see's the IMEI, however the radio will read it for what it actually is.
This is interesting... when I warranty return my phones to ATT, they ask me to do the *#06# and have me read off the IMEI... Could they tell if I've changed roms via the numbers I read off?
Could it possibly be a secret way to bust us all?

No, no suits, black helicopters and vans unless you start cloning, there are your previous IMEI's on ATT system, they want to validate the problem handset as you have the ability to remove your sim and call them from a working handset, your account is bound to the sim, then there is always the accounts with multiple active sims, they just need the right one for the RMA.

There is a serial number under the battery as well as the phone IMEI.
Look under the battery and look on the box. The barcode under the IMEI number has some numbers under it, that is your device serial number.
Thanks, under the battery there it says S/N and then there is a number.. is it safe to assume that this is the serial number?
Note that this is different to the number on the barcode on the box
Yes, S/N stands for serial number
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Could I just ask how many digits (decimal or hexadecimal) the serial number is...?
(I won't bother trying to explain why I'm wondering)
Isn't the IMEI-no. the serial number?

I'm trying to do this in Kies and am having no luck. I've tried the following:
IMEI + Model Name
S/N + Model Name
IMEI + 2 digit IMMEISV + Model Name
I've entered pretty much every number I can find on the box. When I enter the S/N and Model Name (SGH-i777) I get a weird character message
What am I missing here?

"wierd" as 00195ef068dfae -this is what my phone shows for S/N under Settings/About. But this is another baseband/imei stuff problem.
And the actuall SN (under the battery) is ofc not showing! And the box only shows IMEI + Barcode + color
I don't know if this is right, true or works, but from a IMEI blacklist checking site i discovered that the the imei contains the following :
TAC: XXXXXX FAC: XX SNR: 580206 CD: 3, so if someone can confirm that these SNR: digits are actually the SN of phone than you solve it. Cheers mate.
Same as me..not same as in the back of the phone afer flash stock firm from sammy
I just saw a post about someone getting the error "Please enter a valid IMEI number." when submitting phones to OnePlus for bootloader unlock for N200s.
Is it possible they bought used phones with changed IMEIs? I am trying to learn if that's possible, or not.

i know back in the day changing imei number was a thing. but nowndays you changing imei on newer phone will cause a very very hard brick. plus it's illegal to change imei numbers on phones.
imei nembers for phones is just like your VIN on your car. each phone has its own imei number.
no phones has the same imei numbers.
so if you change it
it will brick
